CONJURING TRICKS.
How a Noted Prestigiator Makes Bird
Suddenly Vanish From sight.

How a Noted Prestigiator Makes Birds
Suddenly Vanish From sight.
Some conjuring tricks are so clever
as usually to battle detection. One,
which caused some excitement in Lon
don not long since, is performed by
Carl Hertz, the possessor of what seems
to be a magic canary. The conjuror is
in the habit of presenting the bird in a
cage to the audience, when presto! both
cage and canary suddenly vanish from
sight. A human spectator, believing
that the cage was capable Of collapse,
and that the bird within is always killed
by the process, opened newspaper
discussion upon the subject, and re.
porter was sent to investigate the case.
Among the first objects noticed by MIN
in the conjuror's room were, he says,
four canaries and pair of white pig.
cons The canaries seemed to know
their master, as he looked into their
c.sc and spoke to them.
LAS perform at three halls every
night" said Hertz, "and six times a
week, for nine months in the year,
should need to slaughter seven hundred
birds per annum, if killed them by the
trick. But my whole stock in trade is in
that cage"
AS he was speaking, he took bird
from its perch and proceeded to stroke
it softly, when he suddenly made a
violent exclamation. The hand in
which he held the bird described a'semi-
circle, and, hurtling through the air,
came down with crash upon his thigh.
But the bird was not dead; as soon as
the OBTAINING hand was opened, he flew
to the table and perched there serenely.
This little feat was but the prelude to
an exhibition of the trick itself.
Hertz now produced cage made OF
wire, about eight inches long and six
inches wide, with thin strip of purple
velvet binding the edges.
"You see that it is simple wire cage. "
said he, and 10! it suddenly vanished
from sight. 1t as quickly appeared
again, and the spectator was told to
choose bird from the large cage, and
place it within the one used for the
trick. Immediately both bird and cage
disappeared, and the reporter could not
even guess whittier. A moment more,
and the identical canary was fiuttering
in the conjuror's hand. The man then
proceeded to swallow him, and while
his audience of one was congratulating
him upon the state Of his digestive or.
gans, it re-appeared from his trousers
pocket, only to vanish once more in his
hair, and issue from one of his boots.
1t was impossible to penetrate the
secret of the conjuror's art. He pro.
iessed, however, to be master of q
peculiar knack of governing canaries,
and gave the reporter sample of his
power over them. Taking a small
white feather, and placing bird on the
edge of the table. he threw it into what
he called "mesmeric trance" by pass.
ing the feather over its eyes. Whether
this ability might account for the pas.
sive state of the birds in his hands, OF
not, is an unanswered question.-Nouth'.

cause an explosive wave which would
travel throughout the pit or so long as
the ignition was maintained by fresh
clouds of dust.
OF late years the use of explosives in
coal mines has been considerably re-
stricted, and some people have gone so
far as to demand their absolute prohi-
bition. Explosive agents are, however,
much too powerful alxiliaries in colliery
working to be readily given up, and in

seems no reason why they should be
discarded. In the case Of gunpowder

and by preventing as far as possible the
accumulation of dust. In the haulage-
ways and engine-planes the dust is
largely due to the action of the air cur

Col. Dudley, of the Cable road, yester-
day, 'that the first shipment of material,
probably 100 tons, had left Philadelphia
and might be expected at ST. Paul about
the 25th inst. Our motive power will be
furnished by two fve-hundred horse
power link engines, which will be sunk
twelve feet below the surface, thus pre-
venting any detection i'll the cable,
which will come over the drums per-
fectly level. An ordinary stationary
engine has an encumbrance in the shape
OF n hy-wheel, which must be stopped
gradually to cut off the power, whereas
with the link engines, an immediate
St0ppage enSueS when necessary. The
cable which will be used is one and
quarter inches in diameter, of the ROeb-
ling standard, and is about the same as
that in operation over the famous
Brooklyn bridge. Men are stationed
at the power house whose duty it
is to inspect every foot of cable
as it passes over the drum from the
street, and any defects noticed will be
at once remedied, not more than twenty
minutes being required to make a splice
i'll case of break or any stray strands
of cable that may have caught in the
grip.
In the excavation for the conduits
along the streets, it will not be neceS-
Sary to go more than three and-a-half
feet below the surface on the following
route: Beginning at Fourth and Broad
way, up Fourth to Seven corners, up
Third street to Selby avenue, and
straight out Dale street. The distance
covered will be within fraction of two
and three-quarters miles, and the horse
cars will be superseded over the Fourth
street line from Seven corners to Broad
way by larger cars than those now used.
Besides there will be conductors on each
car, and the intention is to make the
road model one as to operation and
equipment. The minimum curve is
$50 feet radius from center to circumfer-
ence at the junction of Third street and
Selby avenue, but it will be almost i'm

grade, st. Paul will rank fourth, the
rise being fOurteen-and-a half feet to
the hundred at St. Anthony hill. There
are three sleeper grades than this, all
located in San Francisco, and the run
ming time between the terminal points
in this city will be about twenty min

HAVE DONE SOME GOOD.
insurance Companies Which
Have Recently Been Over
hauled


Referring to the results of the private
examination into the methods of various
local assessment life insurance asSocia-
lions, Insurance Commissioner Shan
drew says the statements are to be
placed in the hands of the attorney gen
eral to institute proceedings at once,
as Mr.. Clapp may see fit. Mr.. Shandrew
said many of these associations had
been incorporated under the old law,
chapter 81, and that quite a number
were being re-OrganiZed under the law
OF 1888, which is chapter 1874, approved
March 9, 1885; for instance, the Ameri-
can Life association, which the attorney
general recently had before the supreme
court. Some, however, were rap
idly going out of existence.
Notwithstanding this worthless method
of Insurance, says the commissioner,
these companies have at least done
some good-they have led many per-
sons to insure themselves, who other
wise would not have been insured, and
they have, i'll many instances, served as
stepping stones to the old line insurance
companies. In short, they have at
traCted the attention of inSurable peo-
pie who have finally been induced to in
sure with the old line companies. Some
poor persons, indeed, who have been
induced to pay small amounts into these
assessment associations have been I'M
able to pay the large premiums required
by the old line companies, and as fast
as they lost money with one association
they went into another.
